2 Months Old!!!!

Oh the joy of getting older and bigger when you are a baby that is, Caleb is really getting into playing with some of his batteryized toys, he is smiling a lot and talks up a storm when you talk to him. He had is 2 month check up with the doctor, which means getting those nasty shots. He was 11 lbs, 11.5 oz, which put him in the 60th percentile for weight. He was 23.5 inches tall (80th percentile) and his head circumference was 16 inches (60th percentile). The shots weren't too bad, I think I hear him scream louder on a daily basis, and everything else checked out well. We also went camping up at Horesetooth again this past weekend. Grandma Cindy camped with us one night so that Doug and I could go wakeboarding. (Caleb can't hold the flag yet)

Doug teaching Caleb how to drive the boat (no one has to know it was parked on the beach)

Drinking and driving do not mix except when the motor isn't running

Caleb has the lower lip pout down pat, just incase he stops doing this we had to capture it on film. For those of you who have not seen him in person he does this all the time as a pre crying maneuver (it doesn't work on us we just laugh)

Caleb's new favorite thing, maybe even better than eating; could it be? He makes this face when something excites or interest him, in this case it appears to be the neon green cloth covering the springs in the Jumperoo

He's figured it out now, so the green thing isn't as interesting

He played till he couldn't play anymore, Luckily this has bought me a couple hours of computer time, think of this as a live picture as I finish this blog entry.

First camping trip at 8 weeks

Again this blog entry is a little old, but the photo upload is just now working for me. We had planned to go to the mountains for a camping/hiking trip, but decided on trying someplace closer. Horsetooth reservoir is just outside of the city limits of Fort Collins (so about 5 miles from home). We packed up the boat and the camping gear for Caleb's first camping weekend. He did great, slept just as well in the tent as he does at home, and seemed to enjoy being on the boat. Saturday was a little cool so he didn't go swimming, but Sunday he had his first swim in a non-chlorinated pool :) For those of you keeping track of his growth he was weighing in at 11 1/2 lbs.
Caleb in his life jacket , which he only wore on land. He really didn't like it that much, so he rode in his carseat on the boat

A little sunshine to warm up after a quick swim

Doug caught a good size small mouth bass, Caleb missed it due to taking a cat nap

Back at home, playing on the floor mat that Amber and DJ gave him, he likes to kick the ball (you can see it swinging back and forth)

7 1/2 Weeks

I apologize that it has taken so long to update the blog, I actually wrote all of this 3 weeks ago, but the blog was having photo uploading problems, so finally today it is all here, but the info is old. Caleb is almost 2 months old and weighed in at 11 lbs 2 oz today and is growing really fast. We are all doing very well, especially now that Caleb sleeps a little longer at night. We actually had a one time feeding last night, which I could live with for a long time, but hopefully we will move right along to a no night time feeding schedule. Co-ed soccer has wrapped up and now begins volleyball, men's soccer, softball and flag football, getting Caleb to bed early is a challenge with all of these activities.

Put a smile on!

Vail Soccer Tournament

Congratulations to the Internationals (Doug's mens soccer team) on their championship at the Vail tournament this past weekend, they went 6-0 on the weekend and won the championship for the second year in a row. This was Caleb's first couple nights away from home, he did great, I can't say he paid close attention to the games, but he was there and that is what counts the most. We took him swimming in the hotel pool, his first big water experience and we think he had a good time, he didn't cry anyways.

Grandma Cindy with Caleb a few days before the tournament, he is now 6 1/2 weeks old, and weighs in at 10 lbs 9 oz. His hair is starting to get a little reddish tinge to it. He is also starting to smile and coo a lot which is so much fun to be around.

More pictures

I have tried several times to add these pictures below and for some reason they weren't working on the other blog entries, so they get there own blog entry. They are just random pictures from 4 to 5 weeks old. How could anyone not love this face!

After spending so much time together I finally got a picture of Caleb with his buddy Quint, who is a month older and attends most of the soccer games.

I am a sleeply little captain, but I sure am cute ! Finally we have had a day cool enough to wear pants before I grow out of all of them.
